With the help of the dism command and the /Get-Features switch I got a list of features and packages that are enabled or disabled in my installation.
Is there any link that explains what these features do? (e.g. feature name: Tpm-PSH-Cmdlets).
I need a description for the whole list I get with the dism command10760-windows-server-2019-features-and-packages.txt

    Hi,

    There's no command to get the information for all features when using DISM, however you can get more information about a specific feature by running:

    DISM /Online /Get-FeatureInfo /FeatureName:XXXXX

    Example output:

    10893-get-featureinfo.png

    You can also use the Get-WindowsOptionalFeature PowerShell cmdlet to retrieve features, but here as well you need to specify the feature which you want more information of.

    Example output:

    10892-get-windowsoptionalfeature.png

    You can however use wildcards, this way you'll be able to list for example all features that begins with a specific character:

    10747-get-windowsoptionalfeature-wildcard.png

    Best regards,
    Leon
